I am trying to get the sum of multiple returns on a VLOOKUP. As an example:

Jan 24
Jan 57
Jan 239
Feb 72
Mar 16
Mar 44

I want to get a result that looks like:

Jan Feb Mar
320 72 60

I have tried:

=SUMPRODUCT(VLOOKUP((Jan,A2:B7,2,FALSE))

But unfortunatley that just returns 24.

I hope someone can help.
